    Since the usage variance is 300A, and the standard cost is $2 per kg, it must mean that they used 150 kg more than they should have done.

    They should have used 500 x 3 = 1,500 kg and so they must have actually used 1,650 kg.

    Because of the inventories, they must have purchases 1,650 + 400 – 100 = 1,950 kg.

    They should have paid 1,950 x $2 = $3,900. However, because there is a favourable expenditure variance they must have actually paid $2,900.
